China's Cooperation, Conflict and Interaction Behavior; Viewed from Rummel's Field Theoretic Perspective

Abstract

China's conflict and cooperative behavior was examined from the perspective of Rummel's field theory which states that 'the behavior of one nation toward another is a linear transformation of their differences from each other on their attributes.' The period of study included sixteen years, 1950- 1965. China's behavior toward all sovereign nations was measured with seventeen selected variables at five selected time points, 1950, 1955, 1960, 1963, and 1965. Then the data were factor analyzed with a technique which treated all dyads, including dyads consisting of the same actor and object for different years as separate dyads, in one matrix. Six cooperative-type and two conflict- type behavioral patterns were identified.
